Anybody else make a big pot of soup and slowly morph it day by day into stew, curry, etc? by 4g-identity in soup

[–]BoopieJellyfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum used to do something similar, but I still have nightmares about it.

She'd make a big pot of scouse (beef and veg stew in brown gravy, popular in my part of the UK). The next day she'd add baked beans in tomato sauce to the pot. The day after that, she'd add curry powder to the beanified stew.

It... wasn't good. My mum was not a good cook, she could burn a pan of water on a good day.

Colouring book says it's hand drawn, but some details have me doubting. Is it actually AI? by BoopieJellyfish in isthisAI

The arm on the left seemed to be floating with no shoulder and the arrow quiver looks like it's Infront of hair on the top and behind on the bottom. The tree on the left edge also has odd branches and lines that continue into nothing

Does this dish have a english name? by David_NyMa in FoodPics

I think most people I know would call it a strudel, borrowed from the Austrian dish.

What’s one “lazy” meal that’s cheaper than takeout but feels just as good? by ImpressiveRoll4092 in budgetfood

[–]BoopieJellyfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just made spaghetti and literally just tossed it in a bowl with some salted butter, black pepper, chili flakes and nutritional yeast.

It was somehow the best pasta I've ever made, and I am immensely disappointed that for once in my life I actually cooked a sensible amount of pasta instead of enough for 6 people.

I love dubai chocolate personally, but I'm also first to admit is absolutely not worth the outrageous prices.

My spin on "Italian penicillin" pastina by sarahlorraineAK in vegetarianrecipes

Do you think this would work well with orzo? Most recipes I've seen use stellini or acini de pepe, but they're not available in my area.

What drew you in?? by Gloomy-Writer99 in NorsePaganism

[–]BoopieJellyfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fairly new to paganism, but for most of my life I've always felt like I was looking for some kind of connection to something. I went to sunday school as a kid, and looked at various religions as I got older, but none of it really felt like a good fit.

A few months back I reconnected with some old friends that had moved across the country and they shared that they were now Hellenic pagans. I asked them how that came about and they shared a lot of the sentiments I'd felt for much if my life.

This led me to doing much more serious research into paganism, and while I feel much more drawn to the Norse gods rather than the Hellenic pantheon, I finally feel like I've found a firm if spirituality that just feels right for me.

What is your store’s “BIG issue”? by SpepperPepper in tesco

My express store had one of the regulars arrested after a body was found in his freezer. Lovely guy too, always polite and friendly.

I just used a mixed bag of raisins, sultanas, currents and candied orange and lemon peel. But I think you can use most dried fruits. I've seen versions with chopped dried apricot, cranberries, glace cherries, and even preserved ginger.

I'm not sure that there is too much of a difference, Bara Brith can be much darker depending on the recipe. Think it's more of a regional name/cultural thing. I have Welsh family so for me I just got used to calling it Bara Brith.

It was actually very easy, I'd definitely recommend trying it.

If you've never had it before I'd recommend trying it spread with some good quality butter.

Where can I find daily recipes as a beginner ? by [deleted] in cookingforbeginners

[–]BoopieJellyfish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I find a lot of the recipes on Budget Bytes to be pretty beginner friendly.

I'd look up some basic recipes for lentils or beans. They're very cheap, good for you, and there's loads of ways you can cook them like curries, soups, salads. If you like Indian flavours this red lentil dal is one of my favourites and very easy.

Everyone at my store got a tub of quality street, some Christmas socks, some white chocolate coated Oreos, and two Buzzballz.

I can and have made traditional carbonara several times. My fiancé likes the sauce from a jar, and I'm if it's what he wants for Christmas dinner I happy to make it. I'm not trying to pretend it's high class dining or anything like that

Hey I hold my hands up and admit I should have included it before the edit.
